Informed by transnational, decolonial, and feminist methods, this panel responds to the resurgence of Asian American cultural nationalism, Chinese ethnonationalism, and right-wing authoritarianism across Asia and the West by investigating transimperial conceptions of race and indigeneity across China and the U.S. Drawing from literary and cultural archives, each scholar examines how visual culture can function as both sites of racialization and colonization and as tools for imagining counter-histories and decolonial political relations. Centering the “minor” transnationalisms of Uyghur, regional Han, and Black diasporic movements (Lionnet & Shih 2005), this panel unsettles romantic constructions of third-world internationalism and Chinese anti-imperialism—repeated within certain strands of Asian American identity politics—that obscure historical and emergent forms of Asian colonialism. Using blackness as an analytical category, Feng’s paper examines how American racial ideas and aesthetics of blackness/whiteness were incorporated into Chinese mass consumerism since the 1930s through a case study of the “Darkie” toothpaste. Feng’s analysis of commodity culture reflects on the simultaneity of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous formations in the twentieth century. Moving to the present, Liu’s paper analyzes Jenny Xie’s poetry collection The Rupture Tense (2023) to consider how diasporic re-visions of Li Zhensheng’s photographs of the Chinese Cultural Revolution can trouble Cold War binaries of victim and perpetrator and campist conceptions of U.S. dominance. Alternately, Imin centers diasporic Uyghur visual culture as a site of both colonial exploitation and indigenous resilience where the politics of power, identity, and memory are actively negotiated. In close connection with Imin’s work, Luo’s paper explores how diasporic Uyghur poetry and sculpture forward powerful anti-colonial critiques of Han Chinese state surveillance in occupied East Turkestan and of Uyghur diasporas. Tracing connections and divergences across postcolonial, area, Indigenous, and Black studies, this panel aims to orient Asian/American studies to the entanglement of multiple imperialisms to map alternative itineraries of transnational anticolonial solidarity.
